Christmas Comes to Little Hickman Creek by Sharlene MacLaren revisits the town of Little Hickman, Kentucky, the setting of a trilogy of earlier books. Sadie Bennett lost her husband of one month in a sawmill accident two years ago in December. Since then she has been lost in her grief and would rather skip Christmas with all of its celebrations. Her employer Grace volunteered to serve on the committee to select the town Christmas tree this year, but when committee members are in Grace's Tearoom discussing a time to meet, Grace decides she is too busy to go and Sadie can take her place. Sadie allowed Reed Harris to escort her on a couple of outings, but lately she has declined his invitations and tried to avoid Reed. She just isn't ready to move on.

This is the first book by Ms. MacLaren I've read. Although this book follows a trilogy, I do not feel I missed vital information because I hadn't read the others first. Based on this book, I would love to now read the stories of some of the couples I met in this book. This book was a sweet, easy-to-read novella with a happy ending.

I received a copy of this book through The Book Club Network in exchange for my honest review.
